Most of my favorite inks belong in the “useful” category, meaning that I can use them at work and people won’t say “Wow, why are you writing with mercurochrome?” (Thank you, Noodler’s Dragon’s Napalm) But, despite looking like you’re writing with a dilution of chlorophyll, Alt-Goldgrün is definitely one of my favorite inks.

On good paper it’s almost whimsical, like you’re writing with liquid forest.
